- Description
Decorative and detailed map of the eastern half of North America. Regions, cities, colonies, Native America land, rivers, lakes and some nautical features are all labeled. Mountains, forests, and a few important cities are shown pictorially, with a key near the bottom right explaining the latter. Duval includes a list of regional city names along the right edge. Three major ship routs spread across the Atlantic, each adorned with an illustration of a ship. Two depict the route to and from Europe and the West Indies. The third shows the mythical, sought for North West Passage to Japan and China. Two mermen blowing sea shells border the title cartouche in the bottom left corner.
